Deathwatch — books on the story line
Deathwatch
The Deathwatch: the organization’s formation during the War of the Beast and separate later operations against xenos. Kill-team Onyx’s mission shows Ingvar’s service before his return to Járnhamar; it is not a continuation of the Ullanor campaign or required backstory for every Deathwatch story. The Stormsurge hunt in the Damocles Gulf is a separate operation in 999.M41 with White Scars support, not another chapter of one millennia-spanning campaign.
